You were never meant to be only light.
You were born with fire in your blood, shadow in your bones, and a soul too ancient to be tamed by perfection.
In a world that teaches you to smile through pain, to shrink your anger, and to package your magic into something soft and digestible, choosing to honor your darkness is a rebellion. And it is sacred...
The Lie of “Good Vibes Only”
We’ve all heard it: “Stay positive.” “High vibes only. You’ve seen it everywhere -plastered across pastel feeds, embroidered on throw pillows and whispered in yoga classes. Cool. But let’s be honest… That phrase doesn’t set you free. It shames your reality and your feelings. Because what happens when your heart is heavy? When rage is pulsing through your veins? When grief is the only thing you can feel?
Do you silence it all for the sake of staying “positive”?
Although there's really nothing wrong with the good vibes concept, here’s the truth most won’t tell you: transformation doesn’t always happen in the light. It happens in the void. In the stillness. In the rage, the grief, the rawness. That’s where the real alchemy begins.
Your shadows hold wisdom. Your wounds hold power. Your darkness holds you when nothing else will.
The demand for constant light is violence in disguise. It teaches you to suppress the very emotions that are trying to guide you home. It tells you that being real, raw, messy, sometimes chaotic, is wrong
But here’s what nobody says:
-The storm is sacred.
-Your rage is revelatory.
-Your tears are a ritual.
-Your shadows hold your strength.
You don’t need to be “love and light” all the time. You’re not here to be palatable. You’re not here to be soft just because it makes others more comfortable. You’re here to be whole.That means light and also dark. Soft and fierce. Joy and destruction.
You are not a filtered quote. You are fire, ash, blood, and bone. We are Luciferians and we worship truth, not performance. So let the world keep their “good vibes only.” We’ll be over here, owning the full spectrum of being. Unfiltered. Untamed. Unapologetic
The key is to make space for both shadow and hope and confidence, just like Lucifer and Lilith would We believe in sacred realism, the kind that lets you purge and then rest, to then be ready to conquer the world and choose light from a place of deep inner truth.
The Power in Shadow Work
Shadow work isn’t about becoming “better.” It’s about becoming whole. When you meet the parts of yourself you’ve been taught to fear, perhaps your jealousy, your desire, your power, your chaos, you don’t destroy them. You integrate them. You reclaim them.
You become sovereign.
Shadow work is not a trend, not a cute quote. It’s not something you casually journal about and then forget. It’s a descent into the parts of yourself that were buried, silenced, or even shamed. The parts you were told were too much: too angry, too sexual, too intense, too emotional, too wild, and the list goes on. Too… you.
Lilith didn’t bow. She didn’t apologize. She didn’t soften her wildness to be more acceptable. She became myth because she chose herself... entirely.
You carry that same flame. Banish the shame they taught you to carry.
Shadow work it's standing in front of the mirror, not to judge your reflection, but to truly meet yourself. Your shadow is not your enemy! It's your power source, waiting to be reclaimed. Your shadow holds the version of you that doesn’t need permission to exist
It’s the alchemy of turning pain into wisdom, and shame into sovereignty. It’s how you stop abandoning yourself to make others feel comfortable
This is how beautiful a dark energy can be.
So if you’re standing at the edge of your shadow, trembling, curious and unsure, know this: you’re not lost. You’re being initiated. Into a deeper version of yourself. Into the truth behind the mask. Into your raw, untamed magic. Don’t turn away. The parts you fear are the same ones that will set you free.
Walk through the dark with your head high and your heart open.
And when it feels too heavy to walk alone, remember: I am with you.
My place is a sanctuary for the wild-hearted, the misunderstood, the ones reclaiming themselves piece by piece. You are seen. You are held. You are and you will never be walking this path alone.

There is nothing more true, insightful, accurate or meaningful. This way of life broke me free from all the restraints and false beliefs about how society especially females “should” feel, act or behave, I no longer believe sitting quietly and accepting, always with a smile. Karma is a false belief and waiting and hoping people who wrong you will receive theirs eventually, because they won’t, they just get away with it. Never apologize for or minimize yourself. Recognize what you feel or receive and treat it accordingly, Luciferians have limitless power in advancement for your greatest good and every option for the removal or such from those getting in the way. Lilith is a true ally for everything you deserve, wish or hope for and will take out what and who you don’t.
It’s difficult for me to say more than what has already been said by others.
I know I will read it again and again so as never to forget, just as I never forget that you are always there to help, to accompany us on this path, to allow us to know ourselves better.
Reading this felt like sitting in stillness with something ancient and true. Your words held a mirror to the parts of me I’ve longed to understand and offered them dignity, not judgment. I feel the quiet power of transformation stirring through your wisdom—an unseen blessing I’ll carry with gratitude. Thank you for holding space for truths most are afraid to speak. You remind the soul of what it already knows, but was waiting to remember, Lilith.
“Why is our darkness sacred?” invites us to rethink the value of the dark side that resides within each of us. This darkness – our fears, our flaws, our repressed desires or deep wounds – is not an imperfection to be rejected, but a transcendent dimension of our being. They embody the quintessence of the whole human being, revealing a raw, universal truth that light alone cannot grasp. Our darkness, often personified by “demons”, does not correspond to the negative and frightening images that certain religions have attributed to it. Far from being evil entities, these demons symbolize the inner forces that challenge us and push us to explore our complexity. They are the guardians of our authenticity. Conversely, injunctions to “stay positive” or emit only “waves of light” are fallacious. They repress the richness of our being, stifle our chair and our soul, and condemn us to die a slow death by denying half of what we are. Our darkness is sacred, because it allows us to embrace our humanity in all its depths, without censorship, light and shadow combined, to access a greater truth.
These posts find me when I need them most, always. Were I to have doubts, they would be shattered. I have always believed in balance through self reflection and understanding, but in a world that tells you what to feel or that what you feel is wrong, this is a constant struggle. Now I accept all parts of myself and learn who I am all over again and again and again. It is as terrifying as it is thrilling and I’ve always loved stepping into my fear. So now I, like everyone else who has found their way here in times of stress, loss, anxiety, and depression can say to the rest of the world:
No more.
Our inner infinities hold as much darkness as light and the future we desire is there for the taking.
‘To love me would mean having to attend a thousand funerals of the person I used to be’, read a post that I relate with better than ones promulgating toxic positivity, for I am undergoing metamorphisis into an entirely different person. This article has an uncanny sense of timing, for I have started to go through the process of my shadow’s integration and some of the emotions I had suppressed for the sake of adaptability are resurfacing, such as the rage, jealousy, dominance and aggression through reflecting on my patterns of people pleasing and sacrificing my own needs. Since my initiation ritual, there have also been instances where I have been wronged, in bid to rip out that feral part of my constitution to tackle situations with full force.
Owning myself has been one of the most refreshing and liberating mindset shifts. In my opinion, demons were never supposed to be evil for being dark, but the adjective was used interchangeably with fierce, just like there are mild deities. Repression has never done anyone good, just as Catholic preists end up molesting altar boys and the like due to pent up sexual frustration and so forth. In many ways, Luciferianism is much healthy than the societal expectations or codes of morality imposed by religion. It is time we realised and reverted to our authenticity for here we have an oppurtunity to drop the facade be loved unconditionally, by both ourselves through self-acceptance and by the demons who are aware that the real ‘high vibration’ arises through feeling the emotion entirely, and posessing that high-cholestrolic confidence that situations will work out in our favour, despite light and darkness taking center stage at different points of time.
I completely agree! I can never relate to all the positive quotes. They are not real. Not for me.
I love this article!
